Deploying a Standard for AI Enhanced Coaching – Adopting the Artificial Intelligence Coaching Alliance Standard (AICAS)

The AICA Standard shows coaches how human intuition and AI’s analytical capabilities can be used in a congruent way within a coach-client relationship. Competency sets are introduced to ensure clients can realise their potential, a coach can develop professionally, and AIs used in coaching are also refined after each session.

The AICA standard draws on coaching competencies of the AC, EMCC and ICF, intended for use with human coach/client dynamics, then integrates and reframes them for an optional tri-partite practice including AI as a partner. This can amplify the benefits the human coach provides their client. Complying with the AICA standard facilitates a collaboration between Coach, Client and AI that enhances the coaching process. Following the standard ensures commitment to the principles of Explainable AI, Responsible AI, and Ethical AI enshrined in articles of international AI Laws.
